Putting Jesus First Isn't Easy. Series

Contributed by Michael Blitz on May 5, 2024

Martha's jealousy and anger drove her to the point where she was literally yelling at the Lord, and bossing him around. How did she get to this point? What is the point of service to God, family and church, and what can get in our way?

Good Morning. I got a fun story to start with as we dig into the story of Mary and Martha. It took place in 1956, and Tom Attridge was test piloting the brand new jet they wanted to use for the famous Blue Angels. Gunning it up to break the sound barrier, he was instructed to test fire his guns at ...read more

"The Man & His Wife...were Not Ashamed." By Dr. Winson Butler

Contributed by Winson Butler on Apr 5, 2005

Excuses are the nails used to build a house of failure. When are we going to admit that we are responsible for our sin actions rather than shift the blame as did the first couple of Genesis. Let’s examine the facts together!

Introduction We’d all like to say, "It was their fault..." We’re always looking for someone else to blame. Blame shifting is what we do best. No one wants to accept responsibility for their own actions. It’s has always been, "Someone elses fault..." This isn’t something new either. It dates as ...read more

Man’s Ruin – It Began And It Continues – The Fall Of Adam And Eve - Genesis 3 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 27, 2022

Both Adam and Eve hid in the garden's trees trying address their own shame. It was God who is seeking; it is always God who seeks out the sinner. What had brought our foreparts to this pitiful state? From God's creation that was very good to sin. We look at that.

MAN’S RUIN – IT BEGAN AND IT CONTINUES – THE FALL OF ADAM AND EVE - GENESIS CHAPTER 3 PART 1 – INNOCENCE DESTROYED This account of the Fall is not a myth or fairy tale as liberal theologians like to say.

Poverty Is A Result Of Laziness (Part 1 Of Rich Man Poor Man In Proverbs) Series

Contributed by Henry Trocino Jr. on Mar 27, 2017

The book of Proverbs is not a book of finances. Rather, Proverbs is about wealth and want in light of the social reality of Proverbs. It makes us rethink the tribulations of poverty and, yes, even the troubles of prosperity (Prov. 15:16).

"A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man" (Prov. 6:10-11). The context of this sub-section is laziness. Solomon tells the lazy person to look to the ant (Prov. 6:6). The ant has no boss ...read more
